In photos: Sanders supporters at the 'Bernie Barn' in Miami
Trailing in the delegate count, Bernie Sanders needs a big win Tuesday when four states are up for grabs in the Democratic presidential primaries. Univision visited the home of a local Sanders campaign activist to talk with volunteers who remain hopeful about the outcime. "We still have a shot and we must make the most of it," says A.J. Nichols.
Allan Nichols, or ‘A.J.’ as he’s known, a dedicated and enthusiastic Sanders activist or ‘Victory Captain,’ welcomed Univision into his Miami Shores home to meet volunteers and watch him train some of them over the last couple of weeks.
